"Hashimi said he has evidence and reports from politicians, from officers in the Interior Ministry, and from Iraqi intelligence officials, all pointing to a growing and active ground transport route from Iran to Syria. The route crosses through the Zarbatia checkpoint on the Iran-Iraq border, west of the Iranian town of Mehran, flows through the city of Karbala, and crosses over to Syria via the al-Qaim border crossing, he said.

"The transit is not only aerial using Iraqi airspace, but the ground transit is becoming a phenomenon. Munitions, heavy arms, and even militias are passing checkpoints without any sort of obstruction," Hashimi said in a telephone interview. "I am very afraid the U.S. and the international community is only focused on the aerial transit and leaving behind the ground transit. Everything should be checked now.""

Re: Iraqi President Allowing Iran To Move Convoys Of Weapons And Soldiers Through Iraq To Syria's Assad: Iraqi Vice President Says He Has Proof

All those US soldiers lives lost in Iraq... and for what ? For it to become an Iranian weapons transfer hub ?

Truly sad !

Its the trouble a soldier is expendable there will always be a pair of new boots to fill a dead pair life in geopolitics.

One thing I find interesting is how the British armed forces are making cuts yet they got a recruitment drive out now for more soldiers especially infantry. ..... whats happening next I wonder ?

You're right. Soldiers who are dedicated at heart will follow orders to do what the people above them think best. There is no room on the battle field for thought of whether we're in this sandbox for the right reasons or not. You let your mind get caught up in that BS you will die in a heartbeat. You MUST trust your commanders and executive officers to think of this morality issue for you...and during the down time you can think about events and issues. But...when it's balls to the walls and busting doors and pulling the trigger...wondering if this is right or wrong will get you killed.

break and make is key in training you are essentially a programmed killing machine the sooner you realised your dead the better you become at executing orders and it would be intense to say the least if we stopped and search Iranian transit vehicles.

The cuts are mainly for those approaching the point where they will be due for a pension, youngsters with 20 years or so to go are welcome. Does it make sense now £££.

Quoting: Judethz

It already made sense to me cut the old bring the new Did you hear of the soldier who was made redundant 72 hours before his entitlement of full pension the bit that doesn't make sense if you are trying to down size by 20,000 why then fill in those numbers by recruiting more soldiers ? Is it because of cheaper wage ?
